Decision trees for business can address a variety of problem-solving use cases. Since the beginning of Zingtree, we’ve helped 7,500+ organizations spanning geographic locations and industries to improve support and internal business processes, build powerful sales funnels and enhance productivity in a number of ways.

The intuitive question-and-answer style of a decision tree makes it simple for companies to improve efficiency, train new hires and evaluate staff, qualify the best leads, deliver amazing support experiences, and much more. Here are just some of the ways that taking advantage of intuitive decision trees can help businesses.

1. Lead Qualification

A business can’t grow, or succeed long-term, without continued interest from leads that are the most qualified for the market they serve; this is a well-known fact. After generating new leads for your business, it’s important to carefully select the cream of the crop, according to what your company is looking for in an ideal lead.

By putting these new leads into a decision tree based on the main characteristics of your ideal customer, any business can easily make sure that the most qualified leads are sent along to the right person. After all, the faster you can follow-up, the more potential for new business! For a decision tree to qualify leads, you should include a flow for proper sales distribution, content and promotions to best serve them, and more.

2. Training and Evaluation

Because Zingtree is such a powerful interactive tool, it is a prime resource for building and implementing training programs, simulations and evaluations. As with all training and evaluation programs, yours should be relevant to your company or the position, easily digestible, and appropriate to the employee involved – this is important if the training is to be integrated into workplace practices.

Once training is completed, it’s just as important to keep up with how they are doing, using evaluations to tap into their knowledge, progress and comfort levels. We’ve used Zingtree’s robust logic with a scoring system that can perform detailed evaluations, allowing you to add a value to each answer and later act upon the total weighted score.

3. Customer Support

Interactive decision tree troubleshooters customized to fit your business needs are one of the most important extensions of your brand that can be implemented. Troubleshooter decision trees allow customers to follow a path of questions and answers that lead them to the most-likely solution, and are even more helpful for technical issues.

Companies that build interactive troubleshooters and FAQs into their customer service processes have seen an average of a 20% overall reduction in support costs!
